This appears to just be a stubbed out simplistic API at this point[1]. Currently, only method names, without even parameter types are listed. The project is also requesting funding[2]. Seems a bit premature to me. But, I wish the project luck.

  Here's a direct link to the funding request (on Bountysource): https://www.bountysource.com/fundraisers/411-gcloud https://www.bountysource.com/fundraisers/411-gcloud

Please, one of the most annoying aspects of TechCrunch was the incessant stream of vapourware marketing. I love the lack of this type of posting on HN almost as much as I love the insightful community and lack of drama; but as much as I love hacking with Go this type of post is a real turn off.

  Agreed. I was pretty excited to see what this project was about -- then I saw they were asking for $30,000 in funding to build this and wandered off to make a snarky comment on HackerNews. I don't really want to see this kind of stuff here. Or at the very least, it should have a subject that says something about funding, etc.

Fwiw, rackspace is funding/working on a library just for this - multi cloud interface, OpenStack and rackspace cloud support, and AWS and other welcome. We have it on github already: https://github.com/rackspace/gophercloud https://github.com/rackspace/gophercloud

  I reached out to the gcloud team by opening a Github issue making them aware of Gophercloud's URL. I'd love to see more contributors to Gophercloud. So far, though, haven't heard anything back. We're currently ahead of gcloud in that we have working code for server creation and actions. Much yet remains to be finished/implemented, however.
